Poland Enforces Ban on Pregnancy Terminations Due to Fetal Abnormalities, Making Virtually All Abortions Illegal – Big League Politics

Poland is now officially more civilized than the United States.

Poland has decided to enforce a ban on pregnancy terminations due to fetal abnormalities, thereby rendering nearly all abortions illegal. The nation’s Constitutional Tribunal decided on this ban in October, but its implementation had been delayed until Wednesday evening, when the government published the tribunal’s ruling in their “Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland.” The only abortions that remain legal in Poland now are in cases of rape or incest or if the mother’s life is threatened. But the New York Times states that 1,074 of 1,100 abortions were performed last year because of fetal abnormalities, hence the ruling representing a near-total ban.
